    font class="post"1b,121b,121if it's a college classroom environment, probably Style Wars. b,121b,121for most other audiences, Wild Style. It'll pull in people expecting some Breakin 2-level camp, but hook them with its relative autheticity and substance. Then pass Go and screen Style Wars.

    Yeah for the amount of dickriding it gets from cornballs it's still an amazing movie (OLD SCHOOL YO11!!111!!!). How tragic would it have been if that movie was never made?

    font class="post"1b,121b,121style wars is more educational so to speak...but its 90% graff based.b,121b,121wild style is a good way of bundling all the elements into a consumable package, and although the acting is a bit wooden, it features 'real' people...so you can go like...see that guy there he's Fab Five Freddy blah blah blah.....b,121b,121just dont show them Breakin or even worse Rappin' (anyone ever seen that? Mario van peebles at his worse... the rapping rainbow!)

    font class="post"1b,121b,121I actually ran into it lately and JMJ was gully. I never seen the whole joint.b,121b,121No one has ever bigged this movie up to me for me to watch.b,121b,121And Run-DMC were a joke at the time.
  • LokoOneLokoOne 1,823 Posts
    Tougher than... is worth watching IMO for the Slick Rick performance footage, the Beats 2 the Rhyme scene, JMJ dancing behind the decks, JunkYardband playing at the house party, Rick Rubins bad sado masochistic acting oh and the best bit..Run DMC's wack as F*ck WW1 artillery!!!!b,121b,121That said, no lie, when Run DMC came down in the late 90s to Sydney I swear they had homeboy Runny Ray was rolling with them...
